  I want to use word press to create a review type website (I have a theme) – did I need to have registered a word press account? I can’t find anywhere how to install word press?

  Hi, you are in the wrong forum.
  This forum is only for blogs/sites hosted by WordPress.com
  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And you should ask in the WordPress.org forum.
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  I’ve never used either – I simply want to create website (using a theme). Which one should I use, WordPress.COM or WordPress.ORG

  WordPress.ORG
  Ask on http://wordpress.org/support/ and read about the differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you use WordPress.COM for your blog – you CAN’T use third party outside themes – you are limited to the 250 or so themes developed specifically for WordPress.COM

  So WordPress.ORG would be better?

  Depends on the age of the blog in question – my site shows 443 available themes – but at any rate – a nice selection to choose from

  Of course. But anyway there are many more than 250.

  190 free
  155 premium (costs extra)

  so depends on if someone wants to pay extra for a theme – I prefer to give a smaller number (and I was a bit high) on themes that don’t cost extra since many folks moving here don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started
